Default Head/tail light tinting

Well i got ANOTHER wild hair up my a$$ and decided to tint my lights so i ordered a set from LAMIN-X that were already pre cut to fit my truck so installation was pretty simple. I really like how they turned out but the only problem is every time i drive by a cop i get paranoid that he's gonna turn around and give me a ticket.Anyway just thought i'd show some pics for those of you that are considering doing this.

Tinted tails on the right truck look wicked.

Not sure why you would want to tint your headlights though?

Tails looks great. Headlights looks good but how is the output? My tinted heads were pretty dark and even with 8K HIDS the output was very poor. Removed them a month or so later. Your dont look so dark though so maybe thats good.

Speaking of more light has anyone ever tried the LED replacement bulbs for your tail lights or brake lights?
